ZeFrank is living the kind of brave, creative life I aspire to. I have really enjoyed discovering his work, through a video recommendation by CGP Grey, who also comes highly recommended. Ze’s videos are at wonderful, funny, thoughtful and at times brutally honest about the trials of living. I know he’s not fearless, because he constantly reminds viewers that he’s not. But he is what fearlessness looks like to me.
For what it’s worth, I’m not looking to change careers, but I still think I, and most people, need to live more creatively, instead of just accepting the life that’s being sold to them.
We have a budding running group here in Seguin, and the 2nd Saturday of the month is an open run. I’ve been training with a coach (thanks Rick) for a couple weeks and today was my first fast run since I’ve connected up with him. I went out with the goal of 7min miles, which is a minute faster than my previous 5k pace. I did well, especially early on, but a combination of started too fast and maybe just not quite having the legs yet (or the guts?), left me bonking at the end. As a first go, I’m really satisfied. It was a hair under 3 miles according to my Garmin, and 3 miles exactly according to Rick, who laid out the course. So my Garmin doesn’t recognize it as my fastest 5k.
